Pricey but worth it
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these for back to school since I’m a college student and I need something that is noise cancellation and has long lasting battery. I use it to listen to recorded lectures as well as music when studying. I guess the only con I have is that I still can’t figure out how to connect it to both my laptop and iPhone and be able to make an easy transition from either devices.

Disappointed Due to Ear Pain
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was excited to try the Sony WH-1000XM4 after hearing so many great things about its sound quality and noise cancellation. While the audio performance is definitely impressive, I’ve been experiencing consistent ear pain whenever I use the headphones. After wearing them for even a short period, my ears start to feel uncomfortable, and the pressure becomes hard to ignore. I tried adjusting the fit several times, but the discomfort remains, making it difficult to enjoy the music or wear the headphones for longer sessions. Unfortunately, despite their excellent technical features, the lack of comfort has been a major drawback for me. Overall, the Sony WH-1000XM4 may work well for many users, but if you’re sensitive to ear pressure or tight-fitting ear cups, you might face similar discomfort. I’m disappointed because I really wanted to like these headphones, but the ear pain makes it hard to recommend them.

Posted .Thank you for sharing your detailed and honest feedback, SrinivasB.
We are delighted to hear that you found the WH-1000XM4's audio performance and technical features, like the noise cancellation, to be impressive. However, we are truly sorry and concerned to learn that you are experiencing consistent ear pain and discomfort after even short periods of use. We understand that excellent features mean little if the product is painful to wear, and we sincerely apologize that the fit has been a major drawback for you despite your efforts to adjust the earcups.
Comfort is a top priority, especially for premium noise-canceling headphones designed for long listening sessions. While the headband clamping force is engineered for secure sealing, we regret that it is causing you pressure-related pain.
If you would like to explore any final comfort adjustments, our support team can offer personalized tips. Otherwise, we appreciate you bringing this specific feedback about fit sensitivity to our attention as it is invaluable for future product development.
Best regards, Gus, Sony Social Media Team

Better sound than Bose!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are so good. I bought them for my daughter and tbh am a little jealous. I have a pair of Bose QC headphones but the sound quality on these are definitely better than the Bose headphones. The case is so sturdy too which makes them great to travel or just bringing around in a backpack. Got a great deal on them and am really happy with them.
